Royal College of Music Graduate offering trombone lessons to all ages and abilities

Methodology

Learning a musical instrument has a wealth of benefits. As well as being great fun, it can increase discipline skills, build confidence and improve social skills.

Having studied my instruments from a young age I can relate the difficulties in starting a new instrument. I have tried to incorporate these experiences into my own pedagogy so that any student of any age can progress and succeed.

In my teaching, I believe that having a good technique and a set of acheviable goals is the key to success. Without diverting away from the excitement of learning a new instrument, I follow the ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall graded exams. I believe that these provide reachable milestones to progressing on an instrument.
